A total of 50 contractors have successfully secured a place on the installation works panel expected to worth up to £200m.

A further 47 material suppliers have made the cut to share out material supplies deal’s worth up to £100m.

Both frameworks cover specific UK regions, and a large proportion of successful organisations included small and medium-sized businesses.

The Installation Works framework has four lots including: kitchen replacements; bathroom replacements; windows and doors and communal door installations.

Nick Verburg, procurement manager at Fusion21, said: “Achieving a place on these frameworks is significant, as they will not be renewed until 2020.

“For the first time, these frameworks offered installation elements split over two value bands – and as a result, we are delighted to see a number of small and medium sized enterprises appointed to the frameworks, and eligible to win work.

“Part of our evaluation process measured the ability of bidders to deliver social value – and so Fusion21 members accessing these frameworks will benefit from working with contractors and suppliers who are committed to the creation and delivery of social value in local communities. This is in addition to our members gaining greater efficiency savings of up to 30% on market prices.”
